☆ English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of  Anonymous litterateur of Social Media# 42☆

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

आँधियाँ  हसरत भरी, कोशिश कर

सर पटक कर रह गईं…

मगर बच गए वो पेड़ जिनमें

हुनर था झुकने का…

 

Storms kept trying fiercely,

Only to fail repeatedly; but…

The trees  having skills  of

Bowing low survived merrily!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

सुना है आज समंदर को

बड़ा  गुमान  आया  है

उधर ही ले चलो कश्ती

जहां तूफान आया है…

 

Heard  that  the  sea  is

feeling too boisterous today

Take the boat there only

where the storm is raging…!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

नींद चुराने वाले पूछते हैं

आप सोते क्यों नहीं,

गर इतनी ही फिक्र है तो फिर

वो हमारे होते क्यों नहीं…

 

Sleep-stealer asks me

Why  don’t  you  sleep…

If  he is  so much concerned,

Why doesn’t he become mine

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

हवाएँ  आज  शायद…

हड़ताल  पर  हैं

आज  तुम्हारी

खुशबू नहीं  आई…

 

Probably, breeze is on

strike today since, your

fragrance  didn’t  envelop

the  environs  today…

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

वजह तो थी तुम्हें

बदनाम करने की

कसम खाई  थी

मगर चुप रहने की…

 

अश्क पलकों  में

समेट डाले  सारे

ये इंतहा थी मेरी

ज़ुर्म  सहने  की..!.

 

The motive was

to disrepute you

But, had vowed

to keep quiet…

 

Restrained all the

tears in the eyelashes

This was the limit of 

bearing the atrocities..!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

ये  जो  तुमने

खुद को बदला है…

ये  बदला   है,

या “बदला” है…!

 

The way you’ve

changed yourself…

This is a change,

Or a “revenge”…!

   ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

वैसे तो कई किरदार निभायें हैं,

इस छोटी सी जिंदगी में

लेकिन ग़मगीन होकर खुश

दिखना निहायत मुश्किल था!

 

Although played so many

Characters in this short life

The most challenging was to

Look happy while being sad

यूँ इंतज़ार करना

मदहोश सा लगता है…

But when it comes

The word waiting

bit too inebriated…!

They  came  out  as many

हजार गम भी मेरी

English Literature – Weekly Column☆ Samudramanthanam – 26 – Amrit ☆ Mr. Ashish Kumar

Mr Ashish Kumar

(It is difficult to comment about young author Mr Ashish Kumar and his mythological/spiritual writing.  He has well researched Hindu Philosophy, Science and quest of success beyond the material realms. I am really mesmerized.  I am sure you will be also amazed.  We are pleased to begin a series on excerpts from his well acclaimed book  “Samudramanthanam” .  According to Mr Ashish  “Samudramanthanam is less explained and explored till date. I have tried to give broad way of this one of the most important chapter of Hindu mythology. I have read many scriptures and taken references from many temples and folk stories, to present the all possible aspects of portrait of Samudramanthanam.”  Now our distinguished readers will be able to read this series on every Saturday.)

☆ Weekly Column – Samudramanthanam – 26 – Amrita ☆ 

Finally, the day has come for which Sura and Asura join their hands, for which they were doing all efforts from ages.

Out of the ocean of milk ‘Kshirasāgara’ emerged a radiant golden pot. “I am the Lord of Good Health and Medicine,” he announced. “Here is the amrita that you seek. Those who drink it will gain strength and immortality.”

There was a great cheer as the devas and Asuras realized that their task was over. Both Lords Indra and Bali stepped forward to take the pot.

“As it was our idea, we will drink it first,” said Indra, tugging it to the right.

“Without us, you would not have had the strength to churn the ocean,” retorted Bali, tugging it to the left. “Give it to us first.”

And so on, it went, back and forth, right and left. Tempers flared and it almost came to blows, four drops split from the pot and fall over earth. Those four drops of amrita fall on ‘Haridwar’, ‘Paryagraj’, ‘Ujjan’ and ‘Nasik’ and these four are places where Kumbh melas are organised. Kumbh means a pot.

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, appeared a beautiful maiden such as they had never seen! Her dark eyes were like blue lotuses and her air of mystery enchanted devas and Asuras alike. It was Lord Vishnu, who took the form of a lovely girl, to divert the attention of the Asuras.

Smiling sweetly and coyly, she took the pot from them. “Silly men, why quarrel over this?” she scolded playfully. “Sit down and I will serve it equally amongst you.”

Meekly they sat down, devas facing north and Asuras facing south, as the beautiful maiden danced between them. Flirting outrageously with the Asuras, she distracted them while she slyly served the amrita to the devas. Soon, all the devas had received the magic potion and there was not a drop left for the Asuras.

The beautiful maiden then threw down the pot and, laughing scornfully, vanished as suddenly as she had appeared.

Last phase of churning of ocean of milk ‘Kshirasāgara’ was going on. All were waiting for amrita now. After one more round of push and pull of mount Mandara with the help of Naga Vasuki by Sura and Asura a tree with golden green leaves seen over ocean surface. Indira and other wondered that what is this. The glory of that tree was looking immeasurable. The roots and timber were below the ocean and only branches and leaves were visible above ocean.

Meantime an Asura started thinking in his mind about Rajasavik food. Soon a big plate of Rajsavik food appeared in front of him from nowhere.

All were amazed.

Other hand one Sura thinking about ornaments and soon he got them.

Then Lord Bharma said, “this is ‘Kalpavriksha’ that can fulfill wish only about thinking them. Now question is to whom this ‘Kalpavriksha’ belongs to”

Indira said, “No, question about it ‘Kalpavriksha’ is born to be a part of Indira’s  heaven”

Soon Bali said, “No, Indira till now we haven’t objected on anything. Even I have given Parijaat to your wife and make her my own sister’ but this ‘Kalpavriksha’ go to only underworld and if not, then war will surely take place”

After listing these words of their king against first time Asura felt very proud over him.

Soon both the teams lost their grips over Naga Vasuki and be ready for war.

Indira picked his Vajra and about to attack over Bali. Bali is actually ready for this attack and stop and hold Indira hand from his right hand.

Then one to one dual is started in between Indira and Bali and other hand both the teams also doing war against each other team members.

Brahma and other sage present there were trying to stop them but they were unable to listen.

This war is taking serious shape.

Then a big blast happened at place where ‘Kalpavriksha’ appeared from ocean. That was vanished and no mark of ‘Kalpavriksha’ remained.

As one more round of churning of ‘Kshirasāgara’ was about to end. One side Lord Vishnu started opening his eyes over Sheshnaga and started yawning at the other end all Sura, Asura even Lord Brahma started feeling heaviness in their heads and asleep.

Soon many lifeful creature felt down over the surface of ocean of milk ‘Kshirasāgara’.

Lord Brahma fall sleep over his pink lotus. Due to which lotus started tilting a side. Soon Goddess of knowledge ‘Sarswati’ came on her white swan and held the head of sleeping Brahma.

All other sages also slept, only Spatrishis, the seven great sage were awake and all wonder. They soon approached towards Sheshnaga, place where Lord Vishnu use to sleep.

As they reach near Sheshnaga, they saw Lord Vishnu was awake and sitting over Sheshnaga with gentle smile.

One of Saptrishi sage said, “Lord, on the site of churning all Sura, Asura, sage even Lord Brahma is sleeping. Naga Vasuki hood is fallen apart and he is seeping as well. What is this Maya, illusion, O! Mayadhra only you can know”

Lord Vishnu do salute to seven great sage and said, “come with me on site and I’ll explain you there”

Then all reached at the site of churning of ocean ‘Kshirasāgara’ where seems to be whole universe is paused.

Lord Vishnu started saying, “great seven sage, this is due to our Yoga Maya which is creation of ego and desires of individual. Which keeps people bound on their realms.

You can say it is Nidra or sleep of ignorance. It is a Tamsik shakti of mine. See towards the ocean where churning is happening”

All seven sage looked toward the churning site. They saw a beautiful black color Goddess is standing and smiling. All sage does salute to her and ask, “who are you mother?”

That Goddess replied with lazy voice, “I am Yoga Nidra or Yogic sleep is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping. I am a state in which the one’s body is completely relaxed, and the practitioner becomes systematically and increasingly aware of the inner world by following a set of verbal instructions. This state of consciousness is different from meditation, in which concentration on a single focus is required. In Yoga Nidra the practitioner remains in a state of light withdrawal of the 5 senses (pratyahara) with four senses internalized, that is, withdrawn, and only hearing still connects to any instructions given.

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

 बुला  रही  हैं  हमें

 तल्ख़ियाँ हक़ीक़त की

 ख़याल-ओ-ख़्वाब की

 दुनिया से अब निकलते हैं..

 

Calling us are the bitter

 realities  of  the  life…

 It’s time to come out of the

 world of dream n euphoria

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

 रास्ता है कि कटता

 चला जाता है…

और फ़ासला है कि

 कम ही नहीं होता…

 

The way keeps  

 on  going  past…

But, the damn distance

 never reduces only…

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

 

आज परछाईं से पूछ ही लिया,

 क्यों चलती हो तुम मेरे साथ

उसने भी हँस कर कहा,

 और कौन है बता तेरे साथ…!!

 

Today I asked the shadow,

 Why d’you accompany me

It retorted laughingly, tell me

 Who else is there with you!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

  उजालों में तो मिल जाएगा

 कोई  साथ  निभाने  वा‌ला

 तलाश  तो  उनकी  करो

 जो अंधेरे में भी साथ दे…

 

You  will  always  find

 someone  in  the  light

Look for someone who’ll be

 with you even in darkness!
